Beautiful building but undergoing renovation on the outside. Difficult to figure out how to get to hotel parking as it is a restricted street and the bollards may be up preventing you from entering. The hotel said they would automatically go down when you approach. We ended up parking at a garage about a 5 min walk from the hotel which worked well for us and actually cost less than the hotel parking. Bathrooms were nicely modern but the room itself felt sparse and not updated, perhaps in keeping with the original style. Windows cannot be open to let air in so at times the room smelled musty. Staff were extremely nice and the cafe in the courtyard was a nice escape from the bustle outside. Well located.
Beautiful, historic hotel in the heart of the city. Our room was clean and beautiful. The staff were very nice and helpful. We enjoyed a beautiful lunch in the the restaurant. We look forward to returning again.
Love the Parador but we were not informed that there were building works going on. Woken up early in the morning by hammering and some areas of the hotel areas were inaccessible.
Spectacular hotel experience you do not want to miss. Grounds are on the plaza of the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral where all the Camino routes meet at this plaza. Thousands of Camino pilgrims arrive daily.
We stayed here at the end of our Camino Portuguese. Our room was clean, spacious, and quiet, with the window look out to the top of the Cathedral. The beds were
very comfortable. The only negative is shower water pressure very weak. Breakfast was excellent. Hotel staff were all very professional and helpful. Hotel is located in an excellent location. Strongly recommended..
The hotel is an excellent property and beautiful in its historic character. Unfortunately for us, it is currently under construction with the entire front facade covered in scaffolding and canvas, completely obscuring the beauty of the exterior. The entrance is through a make-shift passage through the construction zone. Also there was no information provided in advance about how to access the hotel which is in a restricted zone. I had to risk driving where I was forbidden in order to get to the hotel, and that was very nerve wracking. I think they would have provided instructions if I had booked directly with them instead of Hotels.com.
Everything inside this gorgeous building was perfect. An old monastery, beautifully restored with cloister gardens.
And situated right on the main square with the cathedral! That was all perfect.
Please be advised that there is restoration occurring on the outside of the building, so it's not so picturesque and there was some associated construction noise.

Magical Hotel
The hotel was to be a treat for completing the Camino de Santiago. The hotel staff are wonderful and the rooms and hotel are stunning. But I really wish someone would have told me they were renovating the hotel before I booked. It was noisy the hotel has scaffolding around most of hotel which was a bummer. But they did change my room for me after the noise above was intolerable.
